I've been thinking about doing this for a while. The HB Stryker bags aren't exactly huge, and due to the semi rigid design are not great for heavy articles such as tools, etc. Not long ago someone posted a link here for tool tubes - http://thetooltube.com/MegaTube.html. I bought two - one for a nicely stocked tool roll and another for a gas bottle "just in case". They fit perfectly behind the C-Bow mounts, and provide the space to carry the tools and gas. Fast shipping, and they come with mounting "C" clamps, bolts, and wire ties. I went with the lockable version (small Master locks included). Bike is a '14 V7 Special. I'm happy with the results.

The red suspender method would be to roll your own with PVC pipe.

Word to the wise, nylon zip ties become brittle and break. I would use stainless hose clamps.

:copcar: red suspenders sez find a piece of 4" pvc pipe at any new home site(anything under 2' goes into the garbage) acouple of stainless hose clamps and a end cap(sometimes they r free too) and u r set.any left over spray paint is a bonus :boozing: :boozing: :boozing:

I have one of the smaller tool tubes on mine. I like it for those tools you need frequently (screwdriver, flashlight, rag, etc). Nice to be able to get to the stuff without unpacking.
Yes, I've tried PVC methods (eg, I used one for carrying my tent poles). I like the screw caps on these better.

I know. There's at least one clamp on both sides (not shown) and several redundant wire ties. Easy enough to swap out. Those large ones you see are just extra security. I have no red suspenders - PVC with end caps would look like shit and be heavier. Not worth my time.

Will one of those hold a bottle of bourbon?

Definitely!
